Awesome climbing, classic baby bum pressing into techy top full of hidden secrets. Great for your first 28

One hard sequence down low, the top half is classic with some kneebar funkery. Next time! Doesn't seem soft, but most likely I'm just soft...

Had a play on the moves, feels doable but will take a bit of work

I couldn't work out the crux move - I almost pulled through on some heinous unchalked slopey side pulls around the bulge but it was way too powerful. I found out afterwards from a random climber walking past that the beta was a right-hand gaston, match and throw. It would have been hard!

Oh so close to the onsight. massively overestimated my finger locks and punted the move out of the kneebar. fine second shot.

Tried this after escape, struggled on the mono fingerlock move. Perhaps next time.

A nice mix of styles in a shady position. Not as many kneebars as I was hoping! 3rd shot.

Lovely. Went down quicker than I thought it would. Dynamic knee bars all the way.

I tried this a few years ago and did it in two halves (broken at the rest). Same again today. I'll try to get back on it soon next time and it might go!

Hangdogging on the top rope. Only move seems too hard.

Great to tick this. I really love the unconventional movement of the double finger lock gastons and the powerful moves to unwind from this. Quite beta-intensive.
	28	★★ The Great Escape	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Alex MacAdam	Tue 10th Mar 2020
Could be an easy 28 tick if I can link it successfully? Beta intensive and powerful.
	28	★★ The Great Escape	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Alex MacAdam	Wed 9th Dec 2020
Got back on it and made some links, can do it with a single rest now. Hopefully next trip.

Was shut down by this years ago. Approached with better crack climbing technique and it went very quickly!

Felt much more doable than expected

Excellent climbing with a few varied sections. Was happy not to have to kneebar too hard on this one. 4th shot.
